Review

 

Mr Naqui, is a very lovely caring Specialist. He takes time to tell you what will/can happen with procedures. . I have had 2 occasions to be treated by him & found him more than professional. My husband has also had the best treatment from him too. If needed. I will always ask for his advice.

I have nothing but praise for my experience with Mr Naqui and his staff. Without exception they were kind, friendly and efficient. The operation from my point of view was quick, relatively painless, and above all, effective, as was the aftercare. Both I and my friends have been astonished by the rapidity of healing, and the lack of visible scarring. I am very grateful.

Mr Naqui is a fantastic doctor. I fell on my right wrist and was still having pain after six months. He quickly sent me for an MRI which showed up problems which my local hospital hadnt informed me of. I had an injection and have had no problems / pain since. I would highly recommend Mr Naqui he is brilliant in his field.

Exceptional service from Mr Naqui and his team. At my initial consultation for a painful trigger finger, Mr Naqui took time to explain the cause of the issues I’d been having and to explain the treatment options. A very smooth and efficient process on the day of my operation and with Mr Naqui and his team putting me at ease and explaining the procedure as he progressed. I now have complete mobility of my finger and no pain; I couldn’t recommend Mr Naqui highly enough.

Mr Naqui is nothing short of brilliant and is an excellent surgeon. He has supported me with ky surgerical plan with exceptional care and compassion. He listened and ensured that I was involved in every step of my care planning. The staff that work alongside him too are words full of praise for Mr Naqui. Mr Naqui, his staff and secretary Donna were of great support in liaising with my insurance company as well. I am truly greatful for the manner in which I was treated and looked after. Also would like to mention Alexandra Hospital staff having excellent professionalism in all my encounters.

A very big thank you to Mr Naqui for correcting my trigger thumb. I had not been able to bend my thumb for around 6 months. I can honestly say that Mr Naqui has changed my life. I didn’t think this could be sorted. Thank you thank thank you. And a big thank you to Mr Naqui’s team too. A great experience from start to finish

In my experience Mr Naqui is first-class doctor. He has performed operations on each of my hands and both were an unqualified success. He has a pleasant, friendly manner and his advice is succinct and intelligible.

Mr Nacqui & his phayio Esther are both amazing & a dream team. They've fixed my thumb for UCL surgery & got me back to normal in just 11 weeks. The whole process was smooth & the level of care was fantastic. They're total pros & I'm so grateful for their expertise. I'm back to doing everything I love. Couldn't have asked for better care.

Everything pre and post op was explained to me in plain language, and the sequence of events leading up to and beyond the operation went very smoothly. I would recommend Mr Naqui without hesitation.

I recently had carpal tunnel decompression surgery with Mr Naqui. He is extremely experienced , skilled and professional and I had complete confidence in my care from first consultation to the surgery. My symptoms have resolved and I am very pleased with the surgical outcome. Esther , hand therapist at the Alexandra hospital , provided fantastic aftercare as part of his team which really helped my post op recovery. Donna his secretary is extremely efficient. .
